Putnamville reservoir Draw down

Does anyone know when it gets drained. I've only been twice, once in the spring and once in the fall. Needless to say, I was surprised when I fou n do it half emptied the second time going.

Not sure myself on the drainage...but i hear there are a good amount of smallies in there. Never fished it, but want to

I caught my first and only smallmouth bass there April 2012. Up near shore on a rapala. It was nice sized too.

I want to go back before they draw it down because I didn't have any luck fishing that day with the low water.

There's a depth map on the mass.gov site. Looks like by the wall has lots of drop offs. I'm thinking crank baits and swimbait off the wall when I go.

It's already extremely low, like a lot of places. Not sure why that's an issue, though; the fish are still in there. =)
